Both teams had stretches of forcing the other teams goalie to come up big, and both goalies did.

The leafs willingness and confidence to trade chances with Tampa is something that Tampa may not be accustomed to.

For example, I feel Tampa is the best in the east, it I think the leafs match up with Tampa better than they do vs a Boston.

Radulov always looks exhausted, second only to Seabrook with this look

Kessel was the king before he started to take his fitness more seriously as he got older in the past couple of seasons.

In Toronto it looked as though he’d need an oxygen tank at the end of every shift. Testament to his natural skill really that he could always produce with such low fitness levels.

Heck of a push by Dallas. Good job by Campbell.

Kessel was one of their better performers in preseason fitness testing from what I recall.

I couldn’t comment on that. I can just say that as someone who lives in Toronto and caught most of his games here, it just always seemed that way. Always a little tubby in the belly, and him being gassed at the end of every shift was comical. A running joke even.

I believe he takes that aspect of being a pro athlete far more seriously these days.

Take notice of the New York Islanders. We won’t win the cup, but we’ll likely make the dance this year, then compete for the Prize within 3 years.

He gives 100% every shift. One of the few on the team that is effective at all.

Pekka Rinne in his last 7 starts of 8: 4 goals, 3 goals, 4 goals, 3 goals, 4 goals, 5 goals, 5 goals
3 W | 2 pull's | 28 goals against | 4.00 GAA | .850 SV%

So...Pekka Rinne is not so good right now

Not at all. I didn’t have any issue with your post in the slightest form. I’m sorry if it came across that way. I just wanted to bring up a similar point that people seem to be overlooking.

Despite the main boards having threads titled “Domi 1 goal in past 15 games” and “Tarasenko 2 pts in past 13 games”, a similar thread detailing Matthews recent scoring trouble was immediately locked. I just think it’s noteworthy and deserves similar attention.

Oh, ok, my bad.

Yeah, lots of good players playing poorly it seems.
